🥩💛 **Why is that beef fat yellow?!**

Dairy breeds naturally tend to have more yellow fat than traditional beef breeds, thanks in part to **beta-carotene** stored in the fat.

It doesn’t mean the meat is bad or there’s something wrong with it—it’s simply **breed, diet & biology.** 🐄

Different cattle. Different fat. Still great beef.

Life lately… 💗

A little bit of chaos.
A whole lot of hustle.
Some really big opportunities.
Plenty of “what the heck am I doing?” moments. 😂
And somehow, we just keep moving forward.

Between the butcher shop, TV, speaking, traveling, building new ideas, chasing big dreams, raising a family, and trying to remember where I left my coffee… life has been FULL.

Not perfect. Not polished. Definitely not boring.

I don’t know exactly where all of this is taking me yet—but I have a feeling we’re building something pretty darn special.

Here’s to the crazy seasons of life that someday we’ll look back on and say…

🇿🇦 South African sausage hitting the block today!

Earthy spices. Clove-forward seasoning. A rich **40% fat beef blend**. And apparently… the only appropriate soundtrack was the Can-Can. 😂

Grind it. Season it. Stuff it. GO GO GO. 💨

Around here, sausage making is basically a competitive sport.

I couldn’t figure out WHO kept running the hoist on the kill floor… 👀

So I spied.

Apparently play dates at the meat locker hit a little different. 😂🥩

Taking turns riding the hoist like it’s their own personal amusement park.

Just another day raising butcher shop kids. 💕😂

🚧 Ever wonder what happens *before* you see me on TV? 😅

Let’s just say... this one started with a little extra excitement.

Construction traffic had me sitting at a standstill on the way to the studio, putting me almost **20 minutes behind schedule**. We were coming in HOT! Coolers flying, equipment unloading, cameras getting ready... all while trying to get set up before my segment.

Thankfully, my cooking segment wasn’t until the middle of the show, so we made it just in time. 💪

Here’s a fast-forward look at what it takes to transform a patio into a TV kitchen in just a matter of minutes. It may look effortless on air, but behind the scenes it’s organized chaos—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sometimes the best TV starts with a little panic. 😂🎥🥩
